Today, the House Ag Committee held a hearing on the Trump Administration’s plans to cut $230 *billion* from SNAP.

My Republican colleagues accused us of fear-mongering. Here’s the reality: To pass their insane budget, SNAP benefits would have to be cut.

The American people deserve the truth.

His mind is mush. I’m telling you. He gives everything away because he’s so damn proud of getting away with the extortion & grift, he HAS to brag about it.
Years ago, he could’ve controlled it…but dementia + immunity will see him bragging about how he took America for all we ever had. 🤬
Trump: "Have you noticed that lots of law firms have been signing up with Trump? $100 million. Another $100 million for -- ah -- damages that they've done ... they give me a lot of money considering they've done nothing wrong."

Sargent's podcast with economist Kathryn Anne Edwards is the single best explanation of this debacle, how absolutely goal-free tariffs are, devoid of an achievable end game. "Manufacturing" in Trump world reflects a centuries-old - fantasy - concept of wage earners toiling in factories.
This is fascinating: On the pod, @kedseconomist.com cites the example of a US manufacturer of board games to explain what's wrong with Trump's tariffs and why unleashing so much pain and turmoil to restore manufacturing is an incoherent goal.

In 1905, my great-grandfather helped @stevevladeck.bsky.social's great-grandfather escape arrest by Imperial Russian police who didn't like his speech.

in case you're wondering why Biden pardoned his family, Marjorie Taylor Greene is on rightwing TV right now saying "the Biden crime family" is "guilty of some of the worst crimes of any president and their family in our nation's history, and really they do belong in prison."

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."
